12 000 km (7,500 mi)
Tires are rotated to achieve a
more uniform wear for all tires.
The first rotation is the most
important.
Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation pressure,
and check for damaged tires
or wheels. If the unusual wear
continues after the rotation,
check the wheel alignment.

dealer can help minimize your
inconvenience.
If the vehicle cannot be
scheduled into the service

safety related. If it is, please
call your dealership, let them
know this, and ask for
instructions.
If your dealer requests you to
bring the vehicle for service,
you are urged to do so as
early in the work day as
possible to allow for same-day
repair.

452 Customer Information
Insurance pays the bill for the
repair, but you must live with
the repair. Depending on your
policy limits, your insurance
company may initially value the
repair using aftermarket parts.
Discuss this with the repair
professional, and insist on
Genuine GM parts. Remember,
if the vehicle is leased, you
may be obligated to have the
vehicle repaired with Genuine
GM parts, even if your
insurance coverage does not
pay the full cost.
If another party's insurance
company is paying for the
repairs, you are not obligated
to accept a repair valuation
based on that insurance
company's collision policy
repair limits, as you have no
contractual limits with that
company. In such cases, you
can have control of the repair
and parts choices as long as
the cost stays within
reasonable limits.Publication Ordering
